I was 13 when war broke out, my parents ran The Rainbow Pub and American Police were outside to see that Black Americans didn't come in. There was a Black American came in and mother had to tell him to go.

My father had to show him where to go - they had to go to the Blue Coatboy on the Cattle Market as they weren't allowed to mix. Dad went out and was gone a long time and mother found a Black American had got him on the stairs by the throat. Mother had to call the military police to arrest him. A few weeks later mother had to go to Lakenheath for his court martial.

We thought she was being picked up by taxi but this jeep turned up, it was snowing so she had to sit there with her fur coat on.

When she came back she had got loads of tinned food and candy, and plenty of gum chum.

She didn't want to come back as she had such a good time!
